PlanetScale Down? Try These Steps

Is PlanetScale down for everyone or just me?
To determine whether it's a widespread PlanetScale outage or a problem specific to your account or location:
- Check the status indicator above — if this page shows a major outage, it's confirmed global.
- Try a different device or network — if it works on mobile data but not Wi-Fi, it's likely a local network issue, not PlanetScale.
- Clear cache and cookies — browser issues can mimic service outages.
- Check community reports — Downdetector and social media will show whether hundreds of other users are reporting the same issue.
- Test the API directly (for developers) — a raw request returning 5xx errors confirms a service-side outage; a 429 means you've hit your personal rate limit.
